sorry for taking so long to review your upload even after submitting it to
this list. Now here goes:

From what I see you're well up to the job and I see no problem putting it
with one of the next uploads.
Regarding your packaging I'm wondering about:
You explicitly spell out autoconf, automake as Build-Depends yet call dh
only with --with autotools-dev. Why those two on top? Your package seems to build
just fine without them and putting m4 instead.
As this it not a new change it shall not stop me from uploading your package
as is.
Thanks for the work!
